Looking at creating my first ‘alt’. lol

As a background, I have over 1k hrs played on my Guardain and it’s my only lvl 80… heck, it’s my only character above lvl 11!

I like the ranger playstyle, though there’s not too many video’s out there, but I’m also looking for group support in terms of CC & Durability.

Most of the Rangers that I’ve seen and played with go more for Bunker / Bow type builds and the personal survival utilies (signet for run speed, the lighting dodge back, etc)

How are the Traps & Survival builds for group play in WvW. WvW only. I don’t do PvE, period.

I also saw a couple specs up on the Power line where you can trait Sig’s Active ability to effect you… There looks to be 2 6s Invulnerabilities from Signets… yet I never see Rangers take these in open field.

I would think these two abilities, plus some melee weapons (GS + Sword/Dag or Torch) would be pretty rock’n in a Bunker type build. You gets get lots of Protection on Dodge and a ton of Cripples/Bleeds.

Any reason why?

Also, I don’t see alot of “direct healing”, though there is a ton of ways you guys get regen…. Yes, everyone knows about spring and combo fields, but outside of this…

Thanks for taking the time.
